CD1. I'm determined as hell to make it happen this month!

Missed my chance last month unfortunately. My SO (significant other) and I were sick during my fertile week, that and we were also arguing which of course doesn't equal too much BD (baby dance (sex)) time lol

Anyone else cd1 or close to it? Do you plan on doing anything different this month?

Lol, different like actually having sex??
Same thing here. A missed cycle is so frustrating .
Also, got softcups so just in case the stress is too much pressure for him and we don't end up dtd by the time I ovulate... Hoping that'll be easier for him.
Romantic, right??

It's been really complicated bc his work sucks and we moved bc they said they were going to, but bc they are months behind schedule, he has to keep going back to where we used to live and sleep during the week by his parents. So between not being in the same city for half the week, and all the stress of traveling and homeownership.... We missed the last cycle. Cycle before that we were in vacation with my mom and our kids so that didn't happen... Lol. And before that was 80 day anovulatory cycle. Fun.

I missed our chance last month because my DH (dear husband) was sick too. It was so disappointing. Hoping to get it this month. I am cd7 but also have had inconsistent cycles since I got my Mirena out. Not like pp though. Mine were 30 days and 27 days.

Oh and I'm CD 7, so.... Not 1, but still soooo early, especially with unpredictable cycles! (Will it be 80 days? 27? Who knows! Lol)

different like tracking cervix position/cm, temping/using OPK's if you didn't before, taking various natural fertility enhancing vitamins and supplements (I'm on about 7 of them myself that have helped tremendously with my irregular periods and PCOS), etc. I should've specified by 'different' haha. Since I missed BD'ing on O (ovulation) day and the day after, we will definitely cover our bases this month!

No I know, it was a joke! Bc I was also frustrated by missing the window. That's why I went on to mention the softcups. That was my serious answer.

My crazy cycle was bc of the pill, my body just stopped. I actually took two packs as well as a month off in those 80 days before my body started up again. Followed by 37 day cycle and then 27(shortest ever!). Crazy story, the month I conceived ydd I didn't ovulate even until cd 28. Used a lot of opk that month! Lol

But it really sucks that I've been off the pill since early September and haven't had even a chance of a successful cycle yet (ydd took a year so I'm pretty anxious about all this)

I hope you have a normal cycle this month or you get your BFP. Birth control messes up your cycle so much. The Mirena has really messed mine up. Last cycle I had five days of spotting and nausea. I thought I was pregnant for sure. I took a million years and finally started AF. I really hope this cycle regulates.

I’m starting to temp and DTD (do the deed) every other day after AF (Aunt Flo - menstruation/period) just to be sure. I’ve been getting positive OPK’s and DTD (do the deed) at the right time but it’s not happening so I’m not sure if my body is gearing to O (ovulation) and not O’ing so I’m hoping temping could help confirm when and if I’m O’ing.

if determination alone was the factor between pregnant or not, I'd already have 12 kids. Sadly I feel like it just means nothing anymore...... it's all just luck of the draw, whoever gets lucky that month. And yep, I do sound depressed. I'm freaking heartbroken.

I’m on CD2! I’m going to try OPKs for the first time this month. Pretty sure I ovulate way sooner than I thought so hoping to get some clarity on that with the OPKs. Also pretty sure we were BD (baby dance (sex)) way too late last month..hoping January is our month. Would love an October baby!
